Hebrews 10:35-36

Confidence. The Bible says not to throw it away. Follow through with your confidence when it is of God. I think about this all the time. Who shakes your confidence, rattles you, makes you question? For me it has always been work, relationships(friends and family) and results/expectations. Every time it was shaken I was so distant from God, the daily grind of work was not prayed over. My relationships were not Christcentered and the expectations or results were of Wordly measure. As time goes in and I pray over work I feel a balance. I remove myself from relationships that pulled me away and i draw closer to God. And when I take every step to Honor Him and work to reward Him I feel His blessing.

I'm not who I was. And this is a slow process but each day presents me an opportunity to mature in Christ. He created me, and because of that I am called to Love myself and make myself better THROUGH Him!!!

Love.

Devotionals

Everyone has crazy things going on I their lives. Life has been particularly crazy for A and myself this year.
She has held on through devotions. A gift her parents passed on to her and one we will pass to the boys. This was new for me and has been a challenge to stay consistent daily. This year has been wild but people like Jason Zimmerman, Dave Reeves and of course Amber have held
me close trough their devotions daily and using them to impact me. I'm grateful for them. I pray to return the favor or pass it forward.

Again your job/career does not define you... I am a father a son a grandson a nephew a friend a husband a brother a brother in law a friend but most of all I am a Child of God
To all of you, my words/my actions will not always reflect my true being I am blessed with learning and progressing through mistakes when I choose to learn through God... The difference is just that, apart from Him I make the same mistakes over and over because of Satan. Forgiveness exists because of Jesus. I won't be perfect but I will always strive to better today then I was yesterday...

“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

My suffering is healed through Christ Alone
